receiving LilacSat-2

On July 10, 2016 the amateur radio SSB/CW linear transponder on the student
built satellite LilacSat-2 was successfully tested.

LilacSat-2, call sign BJ1SI, was built by students at the Harbin Institute
of Technology and launched on September 19, 2015.

The 40 kHz wide SSB/CW transponder is Non-Inverting which means the Doppler
shift of a signal going through the transponder will be twice that usually
seen on Low Earth Orbit inverting linear transponder satellites.

Clayton Coleman W5PFG reported that he and Glenn Miller AA5PK had a contact
through the transponder, a recording can be heard at

The transponder frequencies a

• 144.3425-144.3825 MHz Uplink

• 437.180-437.220 MHz Downlink

It is not yet known when the transponder will be activated again.
